Hello,
	This is my first posting! I hope there is someone out there
	who can help with a problem I have. We are developing a program
	at the SDSU biology department. The development system is 
	LightSpeed C of course. What we would like to do is implement
	pallettes. You know those windows that always stay on top of 
	all the rest. Our window uses the List Manager to allow selection
	of icons much like MacPaint's tools pallette. This works well
	for our purpose. I'll tell you what I do know; there are routines
	SendBehind, CalcVisRgn, and a system global GhostWindow that will
	probably be used in any solution. Getting these to work without 
	a desk accessory window seems to be quite easy, however when
	a system window is active and a document window is selected the
	strangest thing happens. If there are three document windows
	each can appear to overlap the other two! Similar to the way
	you might fold the top flaps of a cardboard box closed.
	I know this is a rough description of the problem, but if 
	anyone has tackled this I'm sure they know what I'm talking
	about. Thanks for any help offered.
